Thats why i wrote in bold letters that the nginx results are not correct . Due to a typo in my configuration file it used only 3 mongrels and 1 mongrel was in it 2 times. The real performence is like 130-145 req/s for the frontpage test. Next weekend or friday i will do the benchmark again with nginx properly configurated.

Sorry i have read this thread a couple of times and must have missed your edits. I plan on doing similar tests myself next weekend that i will post here, i am really curious to see how Litespeed 3.0 performs with it's 150 concurrent connection limitation.

Maybe we can share some configuration files then, I'am not entirely satisfied with the nginx performance, its supposed to kick the shit out of everything you can think of, except litespeed with lsapi then. But the newest lighttpd pre release with the new mod proxy core balancer is working pretty good.
